“That’s right,” said Huang Guoqiang, his face carefully blank.

Xu Xiyan turned to the woman in the hospital bed and said with genuine concern, “What about you, Ms. Qi? Are you feeling better? These flowers are for you.”

“Much better. Thanks.”

Qi Liya accepted the flowers. She inhaled the floral fragrance, and smiled.

She had not broken any of her bones, but a nail on the set had punctured her lung. She would have to stay in the hospital for a while.

Xu Xiyan was relieved to see Qi Liya looking alert and otherwise healthy.

She turned around and saw that there was already a bouquet of roses in the vase on the bedside table. She knew at once who had brought them.

She said teasingly, “Oh my, looks like someone already brought you roses! Let me see, there must be at least 99 roses in there. Who are they from?”

Huang Guoqiang rubbed his neck awkwardly. He turned to look out the window; it was now completely obvious that the roses were from him, and also that he was feeling embarra.s.sed about it.

Qi Liya laughed, but did not answer the question. Xu Xiyan smiled and said, “Let me guess: they must be from your admirer. Am I right, Ms. Qi? Wow, whoever it is must really care about you.”

“Jing Xi, come on, don’t tease me.” Qi Liya gently chided Jing Xi as her eyes flickered towards the man by the window.

Xu Xiyan had long since caught on to the romantic tension between Qi Liya and Huang Guoqiang. “Ms. Qi, what kind of man do you like? Do you like young, handsome studs like Lin Huaijin? Or do you prefer someone more mature and manly, like Director Huang?”

Huang Guoqiang had not expected to hear his name. He whipped around and shot Xu Xiyan a pointed look. Inside, he was secretly dying of anxiety—he wanted badly to know the answer to the question.

“Enough with that. Don’t ask silly questions.” Qi Liya awkwardly changed the subject. It was not an attempt at deflection; she had not, in fact, given much thought to her private love life.
